Reply to "heim joint / trunnion"

Rick,

Rather than use a large heim joint, you can machine the stock trunion bearing to accept a spherical bearing. Since the ID of the bearing will be too large for the OD of your OE shift rod, you'll need a bushing installed in the bearing. The bushing can be machined from nylon, delrin or some other hard but slippery material.

Ron Siple made one for me years ago, exactly as described, and it's still the best shift shaft support I've seen. I think Ron is registered on the PI web site, so you can contact him via a PM.
